All compact objects have a high mass relative to their radius, giving them a very high density, compared to ordinary atomic matter. Compact objects are...

In mathematics, compact objects, also referred to as finitely presented objects, or objects of finite presentation, are objects in a category satisfying...

Bell Burnell in 1967 sparked interest in gravitationally collapsed compact objects as a possible astrophysical reality. The first black hole known was...

A central compact object (CCO) is an x-ray source found near the center of a young, nearby supernova remnant (SNR). Given the observed x-ray flux and spectra...

Look up compact in Wiktionary, the free dictionary. Compact as used in politics may refer broadly to a pact or treaty; in more specific cases it may refer...

A MAssive Compact Halo Object (MACHO) is a kind of astronomical body that might explain the apparent presence of dark matter in galaxy halos. A MACHO...

objects known today as black holes. In the same year, the first steps towards generalizing Schwarzschild's solution to electrically charged objects were...

fraction of the dark matter may be in dark, compact, conventional objects (MACHOs, etc.); the excluded range of object masses is from half the Earth's mass up...

proposed that gravity can be strong enough in the vicinity of massive compact objects that even light cannot escape. At that time, the Newtonian theory of...

these continue to evolve, with many companions eventually becoming compact objects such as white dwarfs or neutron stars themselves, though other possibilities...

astronomical or celestial object is a complex, less cohesively bound structure, which may consist of multiple bodies or even other objects with substructures...

The compact disc (CD) is a digital optical disc data storage format that was codeveloped by Philips and Sony to store and play digital audio recordings...

jets of plasma that originate from a central compact object that is accreting matter. Accreting compact objects and relativistic jets are invoked to explain...

Lambda Scorpii. The object is a bright and very compact astronomical radio source. The name Sagittarius A* distinguishes the compact source from the larger...

expansion at different distances." The inspiral and merging of two compact objects are a strong source of gravitational waves (GW). The basic model for...

3×103 jansky). It remains among the most studied astronomical objects in its class. The compact object is now estimated to have a mass about 21.2 times the mass...

microlensing has been proposed as a method of using Kepler to detect compact objects, such as white dwarfs, neutron stars, and black holes. Kepler has also...
